Sir,
I am directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey to acknowledge the receipt of your
letter of the 30th ultimo, reporting the steps taken with regard to the cancel
ling of the Abu Musa Eed Oxide Concession.
It appears not improbable that the German Government may take up
the matter; but Sir E. Grey is of opinion that the British case is a strong one,
and that there will be no difficulty in returning a satisfactory reply to any
German representations on the subject.
In this connection I am to request you to call Mr. Secretary Morley's
attention to Sir N. O'Oonor's despatch No. 639 of the 30th September, inclos
ing a report by Mr. Lloyd on German activity in the Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. with
especial reference to the pearl shell industry.
A. copy of the report in question was communicated confidentially to the
British India Steam Navigation Company.
^ I am to inquire whether the Government of India propose to take any
action with a view to exercising pressure upon the local Sheikhs concerned,
as suggested by Mr. Lloyd.
I am, etc.,

Physical characteristics

This volume has three foliation sequences. The first begins with the first letter and runs from number 1 through to number 55. There follows a gap of one folio, and then a second foliation sequence starts on the verso The back of a sheet of paper or leaf, often abbreviated to 'v'. side of what would have been number 56 in the first foliation sequence. This sequence is inconsistent in that it is paginated from number 56 up to number 109, where it then lapses back into foliation and runs through to number 332, the last typescript folio. The third and most recent foliation sequence begins on the first typescript folio, which is loose. It runs from number 1 through to number 281, which is the inside of the back cover. It should be noted that folio 60 in this sequence is followed by folio 60 A, which is then followed by number 61. The first foliation sequence is written in blue and red crayon, in the top right corner of each folio. The second foliation sequence (which contains some pagination) is written in pencil, in the top right corner of each folio (and in the top left corner of the verso The back of a sheet of paper or leaf, often abbreviated to 'v'. side of those folios that are paginated). The third foliation sequence, which should be used for cataloguing, is written and circled in pencil, in the top right corner of each folio.
